Renewables 2023 report: solar, China drive record renewable capacity additions

Solar power accounted for three quarters of renewables capacity additions, of which PV in China alone topped the entire 2022 global figure.

Wind energy in Europe: 2023 Statistics and the outlook for 2024-2030

Europe installed 18.3 GW of new wind power capacity in 2023. The EU-27 installed 16.2 GW of this, a record amount but only half of what it should be building to meet its 2030 climate and energy targets.

Scientists Reveal How to Replenish Earth's Vital Groundwater

Groundwater provides about half of the world's population with drinking water and nearly half of all water used to irrigate crops. It can take decades or even centuries for some aquifers to recover after they are depleted.

Massive geothermal potential found offshore, where the Earth splits

A potentially game-changing and largely unexplored energy jackpot lies beneath the ocean floor. Unique conditions under the sea bed promise cheaper and more accessible geothermal power.

Icelandic scientists pave way for geothermal energy by drilling into volcanoes

Icelandic scientists are embarking on a groundbreaking project to tap into a volcano's magma chamber for an abundant source of super-hot geothermal energy. 

Virgin Atlantic flies first 100% SAF flight from Heathrow to New York in U.S.

Virgin Atlantic’s historic flight on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) takes off from London Heathrow to New York JFK on November 28.

Ultra-white ceramic cools buildings with record-high 99.6% reflectivity

Scientists in Hong Kong have demonstrated a new ultra-white ceramic material that can drastically cool buildings by reflecting sunlight and heat at record highs. 

Ultraviolet light is the key to recycling disposable diapers

Disposable diapers are a huge source of global waste, largely because they're difficult to recycle. A new process, however, could salvage the "superabsorber" polymer utilized in the liners of those diapers.

The world has already crossed a solar power tipping point

Solar power (also known as photovoltaics, or PV) is likely to become the dominant power source worldwide by 2050, according to a new study.

US issues first-ever fine for space junk

US authorities have issued the first-ever fine for space debris to a TV company that failed to properly dispose of a satellite. The company was fined €142,440 for "failing to properly deorbit" a satellite named EchoStar-7.

U.S. court rules children have right to a healthy environment

Young environmental activists scored a ground-breaking legal victory in U.S. A Montana judge said state agencies were violating their constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment by allowing fossil fuel development.

US scientists repeat fusion ignition breakthrough for 2nd time

Such a breakthrough could one day help curb climate change if companies can scale up the technology to a commercial level in the coming decades.

Asteroid Ryugu Was Once a Planet Forming in Our Solar System

According to an analysis of grains collected from asteroid Ryugu, at least part of the carbon-rich rock started its life much farther from the Sun before ending up in the asteroid belt and then, ultimately, at roughly Earth's distance from the Sun.

We Just Got The First Evidence of Two Planets Sharing The Same Orbit

The system in which the discovery was made is already famous: PDS-70. It was here that we saw, for the first time, direct images of not just one but two exoplanets in the process of forming, baby gas giants named PDS-70b and PDS-70c
